Learned something today. Never even heard of plasmats before. That (winning) shot looks FAR wider (to my eyes) than a 24mm on a 35mm film camera. I was looking at the specs and comparing the field of view it gives to the equiv. focal length with similar field of view on a 35mm. Not sure if that's

Congratulations Robert! Enjoy it! People keep telling me to get a grip, but I don't have a spare for the K-5. Seriously though, I find the K-20 marginal to use for any length of time without the grip, and for me I expect the K-5 would be pretty much unusable without the grip. I hope Pentax

I don't know the answer to your question. But I am curious about one thing in your note - when others talk about FOV, I have always visualized the horizontal coverage as the issue. I just looked at Wikipedia for FOV info and they point out that (of course!) you can measure the FOV horizontally,

I'm mostly view-camera illiterate, so I'm sure a more informed voice could chime in here, but I'm seeing that maximum coverage is achieved on some lenses only when stopped down significantly. On a camera with rise, swing and tilt capability, I'm guessing that maximum coverage could only be

I should add that FOV is really only a perfect comparison to use when comparing similar ratio rectangles (or other shape). It's not just a function of the lens but the image circle crop. With that in mind some adjustment would be needed to strictly compare a 4x5 (or similar ration 8x10) view

Actually a lot of the newer lenses don't get much in the way of extra coverage as they are stopped down wheras some of the older designs get a huge amount. The difficulty is defining coverage, since a lot of the older lenses get very soft at the edges. In some cases older examples of the same
